IBM Predictive Analytics System Averts Supply-Chain Disruptions
IBM announced a new predictive analytics solution to help enterprises identify and root out problems that could lead to asset failure.
IBM has announced new business consulting services and software aimed at helping decision makers predict and prevent damaging supply-chain disruptions. The Predictive Asset Optimization solution, which features IBM's predictive analytics software and business consulting services, harnesses big data from instrumented assets and identifies irregularities in the manufacturing process, spots product irregularities and forecasts a range of asset performance risks before a problem arises. Essentially, the solution leverages big data to uncover manufacturing and distribution risks and intervene before any asset disruptions might occur. Operating, maintaining and managing assets throughout their lifecycle are major expenses, made even more critical by the frequency of unpredicted machine failures. Asset downtime, especially, if unplanned, is a multimillion-dollar issue for organizations, and the related unscheduled maintenance costs can range from three to 10 times the cost of scheduled maintenance, IBM said.

By Travis Larner -- The Rochester Knighthawks will look to make it 11 straight over Philadelphia when they host the Wings on Saturday, February 23rd at The Blue Cross Arena.
The Knighthawks defeated the Wings 20-10 in their first tilt on February 8th, which stills hold the National Lacrosse League's 2013 record for most goals scored in a single game (20) and the largest margin of victory (10).
On February 9th, following the win in Philadelphia, the Knighthawks beat the Buffalo Bandits handedly, but dropped a decisive 10-6 decision to Buffalo last weekend. Rochester Head Coach Mike Hasen wants to be sure the same doesn't happen in the rematch against the Wings.
"We know Philadelphia's a good team," Hasen said. "I think we caught them on a bad afternoon I guess. We know they're going to be better just like Buffalo was a lot better last week against us."
"Regardless of who you are playing, whether or not you beat them before, big or not, you got to be ready for the weekend ahead," added Rochester transition player Brad Self.
The 10-goal victory over Philadelphia was a break out game for the Rochester offense, scoring more than half of their goal total from the first four games of the season combined. During their loss on February 16 to Buffalo, the offense seemingly disappeared again as the Knighthawks only mustered six goals.
"[Buffalo's] defense and [goaltender Anthony Cosmo] played extremely well and took us right out of our rhythm," Hasen said. "We couldn't get back to what we were successful with the week beforehand."
Despite the up and down season by the offense, Hasen felt the defense's performance gave the team an opportunity to defeat Buffalo.
"You hold any team to 10 in this league, you expect to be on the right side of the end of the game," Hasen said.
Rochester's defense is statistically one of the best in the NLL. The Knighthawks have league-best 10.14 goals-against average and .812 save percentage. The defense is also tops in penalty killing, holding opponents scoreless on 66.7 percent of their man-down situations.
"Defensively, we just got to make sure we keep doing our job," Hasen said. "The offense is going to click and they are going to come out and score bunches for us. We just got to worry about the back end first and foremost."
Former Philadelphia forward Dan Dawson scored a season-high 11 points (4+7) against Philadelphia in their first meeting. Last week, he scored his 900th career point with a fourth-quarter goal against Buffalo. While Dawson was able to spoil his homecoming for fans in Philadelphia, former Knighthawk Jordan Hall hopes to do the same in Rochester. Hall was part of the six-player, two-pick deal that brought the Dawson brothers to Rochester.
"I definitely want to go out there and have a good performance," Hall said. "I think Dan Dawson looked at it that way (in his first game in Philadelphia) because he put up 11 points against us. I definitely want to have a homecoming that maybe is upsetting for some of the Rochester fans."
Rochester and Philadelphia can be seen live on the NLL on YouTube via The Lacrosse Network on Saturday, February 23rd at 7:30 p.m. The game can also be heard live on Sportsradio 950 ESPN and www.sportsradio950espn.com.

Singapore writers, publishers call for better book awards
With more fiction and poetry being published in Singapore, local literary awards need to adapt, say writers and publishers.
Figures from local publishers reveal that around 80 new books of fiction and verse were published in English alone last year and at least 40 the year before. However, the biennial Singapore Literature Prize, given out last November, received only 57 entries across four language categories.
This is the lowest number of entries in six years for the award which offers a $10,000 prize to the best book submitted in Chinese, English, Malay or Tamil.
Some say the Singapore Literature Prize could do with an image update. Writer Dave Chua, 43, says: "I think most Singaporeans don't really know the award winners and the organisation doesn't do much to promote the award."

About the Manufacturer
It began in 1893 when Edsko Hekman ventured from the Netherlands to Grand Rapids, Michigan hoping to find his life's work as a furniture maker. The Panic of 1893 would lead him in a new direction, returning him to his first profession as a baker. Selling cookies door-to-door, Edsko eventually went on to found the Hekman Biscuit Company, which was later to become the Keebler Company. Edsko's enchantment with furniture, crafted in the old-world traditions, would later blossom in his three sons John, Jelle and Henry. They would fulfill their father's dream and open the doors of the Hekman Furniture Company in 1922. In 1970 the company became a division of Beatrice Foods until 1983 when Hekman was purchased by the Howard Miller Clock Company of Zeeland, Michigan. In 1993, Hekman acquired Woodmark Furniture, an upholstery company founded by Elliot Wood whose discriminating standards were a perfect match to Hekman's long tradition of excellence. The company now enjoyed a position of strength in its ability to offer its customer superior casegoods and the finest in upholstery. The careful selection of ingredients, the patient hands-on techniques and the exacting presentation... the shared passions of the baker Edsko and his furniture-making sons, remain the hallmarks of the Hekman Furniture Company today. Now, almost a century old, Hekman is widely recognized as one of America's premier furniture suppliers.Style

Day trip to Cambridge
Trip Start
May 10, 2006
Trip End
Aug 10, 2006
We went punting down the river. Punting is kinda like gondola's in Venice. Only, the boat is bigger, and so is the waterway. But the driver uses a big stick to move you down the river. Our driver was a bright red haired boy, about 18 years old. Some of the first colleges to be founded were built right on the banks of the river. On the riverside the colleges would benefit from this major trade route into the town of Cambridge. The result today is the "Backs", a one mile stretch of river that supports some of finest examples of architecture in England. Altogether there are 8 colleges and 9 bridges. These include Queens' College with the Mathematical Bridge, King's College with its famous chapel, and the Bridge Of Sighs at St. John's college.
Our punter told us a story of the King's College chapel. He said back in the day, students used to climb the buildings and leave things on top, to show their fellow classmates that they really had climbed it. One guy climbed to the top of King's College Chapel and left a traffic cone on the top. The college put up scaffolding on the side of the chapel to take it down, but didn't finish before night time. That night, the student climbed back up, and moved the cone over to the other side of the chapel. lol. Another story of the chapel... During WWII, Hitler said he wouldn't bomb the Chapel, since it was his favorite in England. So everything valuable in the town went inside the Chapel. They took the stained glass down too, to protect it. But they forgot to write down where each pane of glass went. It took 3 years for them to sort out the glass and put it back up in the proper places.
Right about there is where our punter lost his pole. It got stuck in the muck. We floated along aimlesly for a bit before another punter got it and brought it back to us and we were able to continue on our way. In a college town, you can always expect to see something interesting. Farther down the river, some students decided it would be a good idea to float down the river in a blow-up kiddie pool. It actually stayed afloat with all four of them in it!
After punting, we visited some shops and then headed for home.

What Salesforce, Apple and Star Trek have in common: Benioff's gift to Jobs bears fruit
Ten years ago, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs gave some advice to Saleforce founder Marc Benioff that resulted in a gift that will keep on giving. Bloomberg
- Michael del Castillo
- Upstart Business Journal Technology & Innovation Editor
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn
Upstart of the day—Three years before the death of Apple's co-founder, Marc Benioff gave Steve Jobs a valuable gift by handing over the AppStore name and trademark. Now that app developers can create vanity URLs using the gifted domain, it's worth acknowledging the legacy of the Salesforce founder's gift.
Pay attention techies and Trekkies, flying under the media radar last week, Apple launched custom short links (aka vanity URLs) under the AppStore.com domain. And Sunday, that domain—a gift from one billionaire chief executive to another—bore its first fruit, with what seems to be the first vanity app URL: appstore.com/StarTrekApp, for the upcoming Star Trek movie.
It turns out that when Steve Jobs announced the launch of the App Store back in 2008, Salesforce founder Marc Benioff was in the audience. Benioff, who owned both the AppStore domain and the trademark, committed one whopper of an act of kindness when he walked up to Jobs, right then and there, and gave him both.
"I have a gift for you," Benioff told Jobs in a Bloomberg interview. "I'm going to give you the trademark and the URL for AppStore because of all the help you gave me in 2003."
That help went to the core of the business model for Salesforce (NYSE: CSM), which at the time Jobs described as an "enterprise application," but which he told Benioff should be built into an entire ecosystem.
The application eventually launched as Salesforce's AppExchange. Benioff also acquired the AppStore rights, which he handed to Jobs for free five years later.
For some perspective here, Sex.com (an app that is sort of like a Pinterest for porn) sold for a record-setting $13 million in 2010. Last year, the biggest domain sales were Investing.com ($2.45 million) and PersonalLoans.com ($1 million).
That the App Store is now a platform for more than 1,000,000 apps gives an idea of how valuable Benioff's gift might actually be. In a time when Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) has become a controversial "trademarker" of everything from rounded corners to the recessed lighting of its brick-and-mortar stores, the gift is a refreshing reminder of one act of intellectual generosity being rewarded by another.

StarTech ST1000SPEX42 Quad Port Gigabit NIC Review
For those that manage a large number of virtual environments, having the ability to maximize your virtual networks efficiency is of utmost importance. Whether you're looking for a dedicated solution or network redundancy, the ability to deploy a single multiport solution increases server efficiency with a minimum impact on power consumption. StarTech has built their business from the ground up focusing on enabling IT professionals to find and deploy connectivity parts to enable their solutions. Today, we have the StarTech ST1000SPEX42 network adapter in house. This quad-port gigabit adapter is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3/u/ab standards, while featuring a PCI Express x4 interface offering full duplex gigabit connectivity. Operating system compatibility extends to a broad range of operating systems, including Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, Windows Server and many Linux flavours including Red Hat Enterprise. StarTech.com includes a two-year hardware warranty and free lifetime technical support with the ST1000SPEX42. The packaging for the ST1000SPEX42 features branding and product identification on the front of a white box. The bottom left features a QR code you can scan to retrieve the card specifications. Inside the box, we found the scope of delivery to include a driver disc, along with reading materials. Looking over the card, we find each port equipped with its own Realtek 8111E controller and clock crystal. The PCI Express interface at the bottom. Here we find each port readied with its own set of LEDs to indicate connectivity and activity. Under the black heat sink, we find the PLX 8608, eight lane PCI Express Gen 2.0 switch. | To accurately test the capabilities of network adapters, we utilize a file size of 1GB from 1 stream to 24 concurrent streams. For network latency, we transfer a 10GB file with response time measured each second. Above, we have setup four additional adapters for comparison. Looking at our upstream throughput, we find the StarTech to reach its potential rather quick and continue the trend all the way to the end at 24 streams. Peak throughput was measured at 920Mbps. Downstream throughput had the Realtek 8168 topping the chart, with the StarTech in the mix with the Intel and Broadcom adapters. Peak throughput for the StarTech was just shy of 750Mbps. Average latency for the StarTech was quite impressive, as the card managed just under 1ms of latency throughout the entire test frame. The StarTech ST1000SPEX42 features four ports of full duplex gigabit connectivity, a compliment to anyone with a highly virtualized environment. In fact, we chose to utilize two of these cards next to our HotLava Shasta six port units for future network product reviews, as we run a highly intense virtual environment with 24 VMs, each with a physical connection to the network. The build quality of the StarTech ST1000SPEX42 was quite good, herein we found a six layer PCB at 1.65mm with top notch components and clean solder joints. Performance of the StarTech was also quite good. Upstream throughput had the NIC at the top of our charts touching 950Mbps, while downstream the card managed 750Mbps. Response time came in just under 1ms throughout the entire workload. Pricing at the time of writing is set at $252.99 direct from StarTech.com. Though looking around on the internet, we were able to find the NIC for a much better $176.99 at Newegg. |

The Friars (delicately) Roast Elizabeth Taylor, but It's Joan Rivers Who Gets Burned
"Oh, is she here?" Elizabeth Taylor coyly asked Dinah Shore, mistress of ceremonies during the star-studded Friars Club dinner at New York's Waldorf-Astoria honoring Taylor as "Woman of the Year."
"Why, no," replied Shore in mock surprise.
But Taylor seemed intent on finally getting back at the acid-tongued comedienne. While her escort-of-the-moment, Mexican lawyer Victor Gonzalez Luna Jr., and 1,100 well-manicured guests looked on, Taylor rose from her dais seat, planted ringless (for once) hands on her ample hips and continued, "Because I was going to say Joan Rivers, if you're here, eat your hear-r-r-r-t out." Touched
As it turned out, the evening was far from your typically tangy Friars roast ("They would need two spits to roast her," sniped one onlooker); in fact, the event was calculatedly touted as a toast and not a roast, and had all the bitchiness of a PTA meeting. Perhaps that was all to the good, considering that Taylor and Richard Burton (a no-show) had been fried by critics two weeks earlier when they opened on Broadway in Noel Coward's Private Lives. (The New York Times said the play had "all the gaiety of a tax audit.") Rumor had it that Taylor herself had ordered that there be no fat jokes and no marriage jokes, but a spokesman insisted, "There were no ground rules." Or maybe Taylor was worried the evening might stir unhappy memories. In 1958 her third husband, Mike Todd, was killed in a plane crash on his way to a Friars roast where he was to be honored as "Man of the Year."
In any case, toasters such as Robert Klein, Frank Sinatra, Roger Moore, Red Buttons and Cicely Tyson went easy on Taylor's tender ego. (Other dais mates included Jackie Bissett, Alexander Godunov, Dina Merrill, Cheryl Tiegs, Janet Leigh and Brooke Shields.) Spilling out of the white, off-the-shoulder Theoni V. Aldredge design she had worn to her Broadway opening-night party, Taylor gamely smiled, pecked well-wishers on the cheek, nodded to friends, and only nibbled at the rack of lamb. (Tickets went as high as $1,000.) Depending on whom you talked to, she looked (a) ravishing, (b) tired or (c) chunko.
As the marathon four-hour-long fete wore on, Taylor alternately giggled, whispered into Luna's ready ear and sparred with her toasters. "Elizabeth and I have a lot in common," joked Shore. "We both like jewelry. It's just a question of size." Pausing briefly, Burt Reynolds' former love added: "We also both have this thing about actors. And again, it's just a question of size." Buddy Hackett celebrated Taylor's sex appeal: "Any man who has never fantasized about our guest of honor is either a fag or an agent." Rod McKuen read a syrupy poem, titled Elizabeth ("I fantasize, I dream you up"), and singer Joe Williams crooned Just the Way You Are. But Ella Fitzgerald owned the evening with a Cole Porter-Duke Ellington medley. (Taylor mouthed the words right along with Fitzgerald.)
With the guest of honor seemingly off limits, the toasters turned their insults on each other—or Rivers. Roger Moore, who confessed to playing "kneesies" with Brooke Shields on the dais, called Rivers "a depressed area's Don Rickles—only not as pretty." Red Buttons ribbed pal Buddy Hackett as "a man who willed his body to science, and science is contesting the will." Turning to Sinatra, Buttons jabbed: "Talk about heart, he's it. Here's a man who last Christmas gave Sammy Davis Jr. a half bottle of Murine."
Ole Blue Eyes was no slouch at the podium either. "It is my pleasure to give Elizabeth Taylor what every member of the Friars wants to give her," Sinatra said. "Can I be first?" bellowed Hackett. "No, we're gonna draw straws," Frank deadpanned. He then presented her with a $39,000, 18-karat gold-and-diamond Piaget watch which drew the loudest ooohs and aaaahs of the evening. "Look, it says here 'pee-ah-jay,' " Sinatra smirked, reading the phonetic spelling of the watchmaker's name on his cue card. "I need this? Like I don't know French? Like I'm some shmuck?"
Taylor, only the fourth woman (after Dinah Shore, Carol Burnett and Barbra Streisand) to be honored by the Friars in their 79-year history, used a short, sweet and simple thank-you spiel to suggest that the all-male club's next Abbot be a woman: "Dinah, or maybe Carol, but not me, I'm a flake." With one final gushy "I love you and thank you," Taylor welcomed her second and final standing ovation of the evening.
Eat your heart out, Joan.

Davor Fabulich has been the JSerra boys soccer coach for six seasons, and along the way he has won CIF-SS and Trinity League championships and helped produce an NSCAA All-American and State Player of the Year.
This year's roster can't match those accomplishments right now, yet Fabulich just might be having more fun coaching this season than ever.
"This team is my favorite," he said. "They stick together and play like a team. It is everybody coming together at the right time."
What happened in the 34th minute is a good example of that. Jonathan Fabulich leads the team in goals, but instead of taking the shot himself, he delivered a cross to Ether Bustos at the far post. With one touch, Bustos led JSerra to a 1-0 victory against host Edison in the second round of the CIF-SS Division 1 playoffs.
This is the third time in four seasons that the Lions (17-6-3) have at least made it to the quarterfinals. They will be at home against Palos Verdes on Friday.
"They (Edison) were organized and came out and gave us a good game," Bustos said.
Kevin Piscapo was responsible for that. The Chargers' senior goal keeper finished with six saves, and none was routine.
Right before Bustos scored, Piscapo leaped high to make a diving save on a 30-yard free kick that was curling towards the far post.
"He came up with some good saves. There was one or two at the end that really kept us in it," Edison coach Charlie Breneman said. "We may not have been the most skilled team in the world, but we outworked teams The kids worked hard tonight and pushed them (JSerra) to the limit. They just weren't able to get that goal."
The Lions were missing Michael Cronk, their 6-foot-5 center back who was out because of a concussion. Fabulich said he expects him to be cleared in time for the quarterfinals.
Also in Division 1:
San Clemente 2, Harvard-Westlake 1: Santiago Digiuseppe scored the winner with 15 minutes left to lead the visiting Tritons (27-2-1) into the quarterfinal round. Blayne Martinez also scored for the Tritons, who outshot Harvard-Westlake, 20-8.
Gage Zerboni got the assist on both goals, giving him 20 assists for the season. San Clemente will be home for Friday's game against Santa Barbara.
"We just couldn't seem to put it away," San Clemente coach Mike Pronier said. "We know we can play better."
In Division 5:
Godinez 3, Righetti 2: Andrew Soriano scored two goals and Eric Torres added another for the visiting Grizzlies (14-2-4).
Saddleback 1, Los Amigos 1 (Saddleback advances on penalty kicks, 3-1): Mario Guerrero finished with a goal for the host Roadrunners (14-4-4). Cristofer Echeverria scored for the Lobos (14-4-1).

Watch This Poor Girl Almost Die Twerking
By Mack Rawden 2 years ago
There are few things more embarrassing than a roommate coming home at exactly the wrong moment. Thats why many teenagers and twenty-somethings either send out a text or leave a little clue to try and prevent awkward situations before they happen. Unfortunately, no system is perfect, and this video is a pretty good example of that. Recently, random chick Caitlin Heller decided to make a video of herself twerking for her boyfriend. For the first few seconds, her attempt went pretty well, but once she propped herself up against the door to twerk upside down, it all went downhill. Her roommate got home at that exact moment, opened the door and knocked her directly into the glass coffee table. It shattered and even worse, the display of candles caught her pants on fire. The footage is so compelling some are convinced it might be an elaborate hoax. Thats entirely possible. The Internet is filled with brilliant fakes, but until we hear otherwise, Im going to go on believing this one is legit. After all, considering theres no commercial before the footage, theres no monetary reason for this seemingly sane woman to set herself on fire. Besides, thanks to Miley Cyrus and her wild Video Music Awards antics, the number of girls making videos like this has increased exponentially. Even the Oxford English Dictionary recently added twerk to its roster. Considering this girl uploaded the video, we can be reasonably sure she a) put out the fire and b) has a good sense of humor about it. Something tells me shell take a few more precautions before shaking her booty on film again, but if thats the worst thing to come out of this, I think she should count herself pretty lucky. After all, she could have wound up in the hospital or been forced to put in a renters insurance claim. |

From visionary entrepreneurs to game changing technologies, this blog offers a window into the future of Minnesota's economy.
Activeion's new CEO said a challenge facing the cleaning solutions company is educating consumers on how its technology works.
Rogers-based Activeion sells cleaning sprayers that send an electric charge to tap water. The consumer sprays sell for about $180.
"It's a marketing challenge than a product challenge," said CEO John Walden in an interview with the Star Tribune. Walden, who was named Activeion's CEO last month, was executive vice president and chief customer officer for Sears Holdings Corp. He has also served in senior executive positions at Best Buy Co.
Activeion received at least $2 million in venture capital and is expected to have sales of $20 million to $30 million this year. Some scientists have been skeptical on whether using the spray is more effective than using conventional soap and other chemicals.
Walden said he believes the technology works. The company has pointed to lab tests that show using its sprays can kill bacteria on surfaces.
Walden replaces Jim Wiese as CEO. Wiese is now vice president of manufacturing. Walden said he previously had served as a consultant to Activeion and was later approached about the CEO job after the company released new products into the marketplace.
"The board realized they probably needed an additional set of skills in the company and that's when they started considering a new CEO," Walden said.
Walden said his experience at Best Buy, where the mass retailer tailored its marketing to each of its different customer groups, will help him in his new role.

Im pretty open and honest, have a great sense of humor from dry to witty. I like talking about lots of different topics. I'm not the usual guy though. I won't jump through hoops or act the fool for a woman. I won't compete with other men for your attention. You're either interested or not. I'm not interested in anyone who does drugs, head games, smoking and heavy drinking. I'm not a crutch. I'm not the other guy to make your husband jealous. I don't lie and I take promises very seriously. I love to talk about film, mostly sci-fi/horror/fantas y genre, but even discussing directors techniques to editors and actors. There's a social game where each person names a film and names an actor in the film, the next person in line names a different actor in the same film and then another film they were in. The only rule is that there has to be someone else in the film named that the players might be able to get. Otherwise they lose. The object is to keep going naming films and actors. My match should have a sense of humor, be honest and have the ability to express oneself. I am looking to make a connection. From there it could be anything to a friend to serious relationship - I believe wanting one thing cannot be forced. I would like to still have a family and I really would like to fall in Love. I've been in love twice before and I like it.

"Worth Hearing"
This book is true to life and many can place themselves in between the pages. So, Be Caareful What You Pray For. I will listen again for this is a keeper!
"God is Good!"
As a follower of God, doing what is right in His eyes, we will suffer for his name sake in a dark world. But God will always make a way out for his people. And we will come out better than when we went in. God said that we would suffer; and He will never leave us. God gave us a Comforter, the Holy Spirit who will guild us throught the storms of life. I stand upon His Promises and I have found peace in the " Midst of Suffering and Evil." By faith and not by sight. God is on the Throne and He watches over us! Forgetting about yesterday and keeping our eyes on Jesus, we will have His Perfect Peace in the "Midst of suffering and evil".
""Worth Listening to Save Your Life""
We live in a very stressful world today. And knowing now to deal with stress be it on the job or in one's family, this book can be a life-saver. What I really liked about "Deadly Emotions" was the fact that the author was direct and to the point how emotions can ruin one's health as well as destroying relationships. Chronic deadly emotions such as anger, violence, etc., which causes inflammation in the body can lead to all kinds of diseases. Stress is a fact of life but too much stess will kill you. Also, some stess can be good and knowing how to handle it can do a body good!
"I Have Come Too Far from Where I started From"
I would listen again to "Standing Strong" because John MacArthur speaks the truth by providing information that true followers of our Lord needs to understand in order to reach the finish line "Hearing Well Done." Being a faithful child of God in today's world is not an easy walk.
I have been listening to MacArthur for years. And sometimes hearing someone else speak what I had known for years can bring back memorable moments such as when God first came into my life and how He changed me.
This was my first time listening to England's performance.
No, I did not have any extreme reaction to this book.
"Standing Strong" is serious business. life is not easy when one wants to do right in a fallen world.
"Count the Cost"
Slave is by far ranks among the top of the list for audiobooks. I respect the author John MacArthur for teaching the Word of God.
The most memorable moments of "Slave" gives the reader a clear picture to why Jesus died for sinners in the first place. As a sinner, the blood of Jesus paid for my sins, which is a debt that I cannot ever repay. In other words, I am a "Slave" to the Lord, who has given me life more abundantly by washing my sins away. Thus, I was born again. He is my Master and I am His Child.
MacArthur's performance was great!
Yes,I could not stop listening to "Slave" and I listened in one sitting.
There are so many books on the market today about the Word of God, and each author may have his or her own personal views about the Bible but is it true facts? In my opinion, the Bible has been watered down in so many churches today and MacArthur's book is for real!
"There is a God and an "Invisible War.""
This book ranks among the best audiobook yet on spiritual warfare and the bible.
I feel that "The Grand Weaver: How God Shapes Us Throght the Events in our Lives": can be compared with "The Invisble War" helps the reader better understand the bible without question that the "Word of God" is true". And that those who confess that they are Christains better know the Bible for themselves because there are many voices and Wide is the Gate" to damnation. In times such as this, one must be clear upon "Thus said the Lord."
If I had an opportunity to make a film on this book I would tag it "The Blood of Jesus and the Batter of the gods of Darkness."
Get the Book and read it for yourselve.
"Worth listening"
What I love best about "The Secret if Chrisitian Living" is the fact that Christians should walk in holyness and in Truth, not as the world does but as "Thus said the Lord."
I had no favorite character.
Koscheski performance was excellent.
His book is truthful and on time according to the Word of God. I enjoy listening to those individuals who know the Word of God without changing it.
"Disappointed of the lanuage used!"
A waste of time and money! Too much bad lanuage used for no good reason. Save your money.
""One of the best books by Mr. King""
I really was't into Stephen King's books because I was afraid of the unknown. But the "Green Mile" was a wonderful book that kept me wanting more. It has everything a mystery book should have including times when I wanted to cry, This book is a keeper!!
"Fastastice and Worth Listening One's Time!"
I was borned Baltimore, Maryland as well as lived in Turner's Station. I was not surprised about what the young lady found out concerning John Hopins, which today is one of the leading hosipals thus far. Back in the days, doctors had done many unethical things and families paid dearly. This book is worth listening to and I was amazed about how realistic and honest the author presented the truth. Listen and learn too. A keeper!!

'90 and '92 made many attempts to recapture Sabrina, but to no avail. The '91 men proved ardent and capable guardians and, "in the fall of 1889 she was handed to the then Freshman class of '93, who kept her during the fall and winter in the same barn in Hatfield, at the home of Wells, '91. In February of 1890, Sabrina was taken by wagon at midnight from Hatfield to Northampton, and from there shipped to Springfield, where she was present at the '93 Freshman class supper. During this year she was under the direct charge of Schauffler, then president of the class, who kept her under a haymow in a barn at Claremont, New Hampshire. Later she was given into the charge of the Class Executive Committee."
Plans were then made by '93 for a Sophomore banquet in Boston, in June, 1891. "For about a year prior to this time, Sabrina had been kept in a deposit warehouse in Springfield, Mass. The duty of taking Sabrina from Springfield to the class dinner in Boston was entrusted to a committee. By lot it was arranged that James Breed should take the statue to Boston, and that E. R. Houghton should bring her back to Springfield, and see that she was again placed in the warehouse. Breed attended to the boxing and taking of the statue to Boston, and accompanied her in the express car, the box having been addressed to him at Boston." Sabrina appeared safe and sound at the banquet, and was duly toasted, cheered, and kissed. In the light of subsequent happenings and the vociferous disapproval of Sabrina by all present-day odd classmen, the following selection from the '93 Olio, published before she was stolen, is interesting as a proof that it is all a question of whether one is on the inside looking out or the outside looking in. At any rate, Sabrina was well loved by '93, their dinner
was a great success, and this is what they said:
"Shall we, who at that time looked upon our 'fostering divinity,' ever forget her as she sat at the head of the table, surrounded with beautiful flowers? Can we fully realize what an odd and capricious fate has been hers? What contrasts of life her homes have afforded! From the unbroken stillness of the haymow, and the damp silence of the cellar, she has been placed among rushing waters at the bottom of the Connecticut, and again carried over the land, in the dead of night, by the swift locomotive! She has seen the terrors of the dark forest contrasted with the gay lighted table, the feast and the songs! But through all these vicissitudes she has remained and will remain, let us hope, through more tranquil years, 'our fostering divinity, Sabrina.'"
After this banquet in Boston, which was at the old Tremont House, Houghton "took charge of the statue, rubbed out the address 'Boston' and inserted 'Springfield' in its place." Then he reshipped it by the American Express Co. to Springfield, but did not personally accompany the statue, planning instead to go to that city by way of Amherst the next day to see to removing it to a place of concealment. Meanwhile, things had been happening in Amherst, and this is why Houghton found no Sabrina waiting for him the next day in Springfield.

This species is considered Endangered owing to its very small and severely fragmented population, which has continued to decline until very recently. However, trends appear to have stabilised or even reversed over the last five years, and if this is confirmed the species may warrant downlisting to Vulnerable.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Express Scripts (Nasdaq: ESRX) has completed the spinoff of its Rx Outreach business unit to create a new independent, nonprofit charitable organization with the mission of improving access to prescription medicines for low-income, uninsured Americans and working families.
Michael Holmes, former executive vice president of Express Scripts, leads the new national organization, which has its headquarters in St. Louis.
George Paz, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Express Scripts, said, "Rx Outreach has an important mission in assisting deserving Americans in obtaining better access to the safe and affordable drugs they need. I am pleased that Michael Holmes is heading this independent organization and confident that under his leadership it will perform a significant social good."
Rx Outreach's new structure as a nonprofit will enable public, charitable and private entities, including Express Scripts, to work together to bring appropriate drug therapies to those who have limited or no access today. The opportunity to develop expanded partnerships with branded and generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, community health centers, rural and frontier clinics, and faith-based charities will allow Rx Outreach the potential to offer a broader level of service.
Holmes noted the challenges ahead. "During tough economic times, the need for an organization like ours is especially acute, but we know that private resources are stretched thin," he said. "We applaud Express Scripts setting us on the road to independence, and we readily accept the challenge of building new partnerships and support for accomplishing our critical mission."
Express Scripts announced the spinoff in January and has supported Rx Outreach during the transition period.

Quality suit for cheap...
By Cori B. from Albany, NY on 8/25/2013
This is a really good quality suit. It has a true fit, solid fit even when wet. It is fully lined. We go through 10-15 suits a year with a rigorous practice schedule and this may just be our new go-to suit. Pleasantly surprised..
By SEN from Grand Blanc, MI on 8/13/2013
I ordered this same basic suite before, and wore it over a year. I really liked it so I ordered it again in this color/pattern. I also ordered a size smaller this time, and am happy with the new size. I am a recreational swimmer, swimming a mile two days each week. I also wear the suit kayaking. It is very comfortable.
Crazy Daisy
By KP from Newburyport, Ma on 2/20/2015
Fits true to size and I love the bold colors! This is the second one I've bought I love it so much!
My daughter loves this suit!
By Beccaboo from Nova Scotia on 1/9/2015
My daughter is a competitive swimmer. We purchased this as a practice suit. She says she Loves it! She finds the material very soft, and the fit is true to size. She hasn't worn it long enough to see how it will last, but so far so good.
great value
By kp3 from Santa Rosa, CA on 11/11/2014
Colorful as in picture online. Well fitting, very comfortable. At a great price!
Cute suit, fit could be better on my daughter
By swimmom from Chicago, IL on 10/7/2014
The pattern of the suit is so cute and my daughter was so excited about wearing it for the first time. However, the way it actually fits the body is a little odd, at least on my child. The back straps fit oddly over the lats. The top portion hits right against the body, but the bottom part was loose. The bottom was also bigger than I would expect as at the seams it seemed to bubble with extra fabric. I had such high hopes for this super cute suit, but other brands fit my daughter better.
Great practice suit
By SRT from MA on 9/24/2014
Bought this for my daughter for swim practices. It fits great and she loves the colors.
Waterpro Crazy Daisy
By Keri P. from Newburyport, MA on 8/30/2014
The suit is bright, fun and fits great! The life last longer than some of the other 20-25 dollar suits.
Great suit for daughter
By Gary C. from South Lyon, MI on 11/11/2013
fits well and looks great; has worn several times already and holding up well
good for the price
By giovanna r. from corvallis, OR on 10/20/2013
Fits well, seems like a good deal for the price

With the war in the Gulf at its height, Fernanda is subjected to a daily barrage of racist insults due to the fact that, through marriage, she shares her last name with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, and when her children...more

" I dont know how to say it I dont have the words for it. Let me say it this way, as Ive said all along, you work at the pleasure of the organization." - Jim Harbaugh
In the 2010 draft the 49ers traded the 79th pick of the draft to the Chargers for the 91st, 173rd and a 4th round selection in the 2011 draft.
The Chargers took Donald Butler. He is pretty solid but with the 3 picks we got Bowman, Dixon and Hunter. I think we pretty much raped that trade.
Also in 2009 we traded picks 44 and 111 to Carolina for their 1st rounder in 2010.
they took Everette Brown and Mike Goodson( both no longer with the team) and we selected Mike Iupati with the 17th pick.

As a player he is one of the best at his position. His character off the field is another topic. All I'm saying is that the media is getting caught up in this resurrection crap. Find his white suit and call him a criminal, but until then we gotta hear and see this man crying and preaching.
Couldn't make it to New Orleans, but since I'm testing for Oakland's fire department on the Monday after the super bowl so I decided to extend my stay in the Bay Area until Tuesday night in case there's a parade in San Francisco earlier in the day.

Everyone is talking about Ray Lewis winning another one and retiring, what about Moss? Equally one of the best at his position all time getting his first and walking off into the sunset.
Ok Trent, so the doorway out is that way?
Didn't want to start a new thread about this, but I hate how some of our fans are making us look...just read this article and it pisses me off. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/2...commentsAnchor

Americans seem to be pre-programed to find the ONE SOLUTION and then try to apply it to all. There are always a number of solutions that apply to different people or different situations or different points in their life. To Bob-d's list of possible causes of aching after using a stiff paddle he should add age.
I'm 67. At that age and utilizing my paddle testing unit (shoulder reconstruction requiring 3 hours of surgery) I can state that stiff shafts do increase MY post paddling aching.
I cannot use a wing as the position of moving my hand wide from my hip causes pain in that shoulder and sometimes swelling-the wing paddle is damaging to me. It is a fine paddle for Bob-d and numerous others and is the fastest as proven by race results. There is no single "best paddle" for all paddlers.
A narrow Greenland or Aleutian paddle, used with a trunk rotation stroke, allows me to paddle for 4-6 hours with little or no aching. A stiff shaft or wider blades or "arm paddling" increases my aching. If you have aching in your shoulders or arms try a Greenland or Aleutian paddle.
If you have no aching with whatever paddle you use, continue using that paddle. Greenland and Aleutian paddles are also not the ONE SOLUTION for all and are somewhat less desirable in surf or white water.
